        Subject:        ID This Wait stat

You know I could have all the documentation for Oracle printed on my brain,
buy all the books ever written about the subject, but the primary wait problem that comes up will never be directly addressed.

So, what exactly does 'Slave Wait' mean and what can I do about it?

I am using DBWR Slaves, since it did not seem as though starting additional
DBWR's was appropriate on a Win2000 system.

Here are the Top 5 wait events as per Statpack and my shinny new 'Oracle Performance Tuning 101' book:

I have a pretty good idea that 2-5 are for parallel query option, although I
still have to figure out just what they mean.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
